Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 15:9 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview The Bronx

Fishing The Bronx means working edges—bridge pylons, riprap shorelines, park bulkheads and back-bay pockets that connect directly to the East River and Long Island Sound. Saltwater access concentrates along the Throgs Neck and Pelham Bay shoreline, while Van Cortlandt Park Lake and Bronx River stretches provide close-range freshwater action. Timing tides and seasons is everything here; success often comes down to being on the right structure when current and bait line up.

From April through early June, striped bass are the main draw in The Bronx’s saltwater. Shore anglers focus on current seams around the Throgs Neck Bridge, the Hutchinson River mouth, and Pelham Bay’s rocky points. Bunker chunks, live bunker and 5–7 inch soft plastics on jig heads or weighted swimbait hooks score well, especially at night on moving water. Smaller schoolie stripers push into shallower coves on warmer afternoons; downsizing to 3–5 inch paddletails or bucktail jigs helps match the abundant spearing and small baitfish.

By late May, bluefish typically push into western Long Island Sound and can blitz right along Bronx shorelines. Metal spoons, poppers and durable soft plastics on strong jig heads are essential—wire leader or heavy fluorocarbon reduces bite-offs. During summer, fluke and porgies become reliable targets around rocky humps, channel edges and near-bridge structure. From shore, anglers cast 1/2–1 oz bucktails tipped with Gulp or strips of squid, slowly bouncing them back along the bottom. For porgies, simple high-low rigs with size 1–2 hooks and clam or sandworm fished close to rocks are extremely effective.

Fall is prime time again for stripers and mixed bag action. As bait exits the estuaries, casting swimming plugs, metal-lip minnows and slender jigs from accessible points can produce quality fish. Work dawn and dusk windows, especially on outgoing tides that concentrate bait. Blackfish (tautog) also set up tight to rock piles and bulkheads; use stout tackle, 1–2 oz bottom rigs and green crabs or fiddlers dropped straight down into cracks and crevices.

Freshwater options in The Bronx are compact but productive if you fish them methodically. Van Cortlandt Lake holds largemouth bass, panfish, carp and bullhead. Bass respond well to weightless stick worms, small jigs and compact spinnerbaits worked along weedlines, downed trees and any inflowing trickles. Panfish cluster around overhanging cover; tiny jigs or micro soft plastics under a float keep presentations in the strike zone. Carp anglers pre-bait small areas with sweet corn or prepared pack baits and fish simple hair rigs or method feeders on the bottom.

The Bronx River and smaller ponds reward stealth. Water clarity can be limited, so bold-profile lures with vibration help bass and pickerel locate the bait. Keep gear mobile—a light spinning combo, a small tackle box and a few confidence lures let you cover multiple spots quickly. In both salt and fresh water, pay attention to small details: changes in bottom composition, subtle current breaks, and any visible bait. Those micro edges consistently separate casual outings from standout Bronx fishing days.

The Best Fishing Spots around The Bronx

City Island

A historic fishing hub with numerous party boats and marinas, City Island offers access to prime structure in the Long Island Sound for striped bass, bluefish, porgy (scup), fluke, and blackfish; shore anglers work piers and rocky edges while boats target rips and reefs, with peak action in spring and fall for stripers/bluefish and summer into early fall for porgy and fluke; it’s also a jumping-off point to nearby Westchester County and Queens waters.

Orchard Beach

Bronx’s popular urban beach faces the Long Island Sound and offers accessible surf and jetty fishing for striped bass, bluefish, porgy, and fluke; spring and fall see strong striper/bluefish runs, while summer brings steady porgy and occasional fluke off the rocks and along the drop-offs near the Orchard Beach Lagoon and Pelham Bay shoreline with easy access from Pelham Bay Park.

East River

This fast-moving tidal strait along the Bronx’s southern edge produces striped bass and bluefish on the spring and fall migrations, plus porgy and the occasional weakfish in warmer months; shore access points in the Bronx and adjacent Randall’s Island let casters reach current seams, while boats drift rips near bridges and points for classic NYC urban fishing.

Long Island Sound

The broader waters off the Bronx deliver season-long targets including striped bass, bluefish, porgy, fluke, and blackfish, with rock piles, reefs, and tidal rips fished by charter and private boats out of City Island and nearby marinas; shore options along Pelham Bay and adjacent Westchester County beaches and points also produce, especially at dawn/dusk and on moving tides.

Pelham Bay

Sheltered yet current-swept, Pelham Bay borders Orchard Beach and hosts porgy and fluke in summer over sandy patches and edges, with schoolie striped bass and bluefish working bait along rocky margins in spring and fall; kayaks and small boats launch from nearby facilities, while shore anglers fish jetties, points, and the bay-side promenades in Pelham Bay Park.

Eastchester Bay

Between the Bronx mainland and City Island, Eastchester Bay is a classic urban fishery where boats and kayaks drift channels for fluke and porgy in summer and target striped bass and bluefish during the spring and fall; shore anglers work piers and bulkheads with bait or jigs, especially around tidal swings and near the mouth toward the Long Island Sound.

Harlem River

This tidal strait along the Bronx’s west side offers accessible urban fishing for schoolie striped bass, bluefish, and occasional porgy; anglers focus on bridge abutments, seawalls, and eddies, with the best action during spring and fall migrations and on moving water; it connects to the Hudson River via Spuyten Duyvil and to the East River to the south.

Randall's Island

Adjacent to the Bronx and spanning the confluence of the Harlem River and East River, Randall’s Island offers long stretches of shoreline with strong currents that draw striped bass and bluefish in spring and fall and porgy in summer; anglers work bridge shadows, rip lines, and rocky points, with additional access to nearby Manhattan and Queens shores.

Bronx River

Flowing through the borough into tidal waters near Soundview, the Bronx River provides brackish and freshwater opportunities: white perch, schoolie striped bass, and seasonal bluefish in the lower tidal reaches, plus carp, sunfish, and bass in the upper freshwater sections; kayakers and shore anglers target current breaks and creek mouths, with spring and fall strongest for migratory species.

Spuyten Duyvil Creek

Linking the Hudson River to the Harlem River at the Bronx’s northwest tip, this narrow tidal channel concentrates bait and draws striped bass and bluefish during spring and fall; shore anglers work rocky banks and bridge areas for ambush points and fish the changing tides, with proximity to Inwood and Riverdale making it a convenient urban hotspot.

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 1 wharf(s) in this area.

East 125th Street Dock (historical) - 7.62336406505km

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 5 beaches and bays in this area.

Eastchester Bay - 4.87558175671km , Orchard Beach - 6.41271172115km , Pelham Bay - 6.68338927995km , Bloomer Beach - 7.49644462349km , Undercliff Beach - 7.58707461123km

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 3 main harbours in this area.
